Rene Meulensteen, a former Manchester United first-team coach, has warned Arne Slot that managing Liverpool in the Premier League is quite different from managing Feyenoord in the Eredivisie.
Slot will replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield in the summer and is anticipated to keep Liverpool competitive at the top of the Premier League. Some have questioned Liverpool’s decision to hire Slot, citing his lack of managing or playing experience outside of the Netherlands and his only Eredivisie title. Dutch coach Meulensteen is clear that Slot needs to make sure that among his backroom staff, there are those who know the Premier League. He reminded his countryman that, while Feyenoord can easily overcome the bottom half of the Eredivisie, the Premier League is a different story. .
Every time, especially at Liverpool, which wants to compete for all the awards.” The former Manchester United first-team coach, however, admires Slot and wishes him luck in England. He said, “I think highly of him. There was already a distinct line at AZ, which he carried over to Feyenoord, where he had more and better resources and elevated things to a new level. “Moreover, he is performing well in the media, and he is well spoken. I hope he can accomplish it in England as well.” Slot will inherit a Liverpool squad that will compete in the Champions League next season, and many predict a title drive.
